Influence of multidimensional determinants on physical activity behavior: a perspective from health promotion and behavior change theories.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
It is widely recognized that the provision of sports facilities plays an important role in shaping individuals' physical activity behavior. However, existing studies have often focused on isolated facility attributes such as facility density or accessibility, while paying limited attention to facility diversity and quality, and many have not been explicitly guided by health promotion or behavior change theories. To address these gaps, this study conducts a questionnaire survey in five representative cities in China to examine the associations between multidimensional determinants and physical activity behavior within a theory informed analytical framework. Specifically, facility type diversity, facility quantity, facility quality, and facility accessibility are examined as core explanatory variables, together with individual characteristics, social environment factors, and health awareness, in relation to exercise frequency, exercise intensity, and exercise duration. Guided by health promotion theory and behavior change theory, the study applies descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, heterogeneity analysis, and robustness tests. The results indicate that: (1) facility type diversity, facility quantity, and facility quality are significantly and positively associated with exercise frequency, exercise intensity, and exercise duration, whereas facility accessibility shows a significant negative association with these activity behavior indicators; (2) with respect to individual characteristics, older age is associated with lower exercise participation, while males, civil servants, retirees, and individuals with higher income and educational attainment exhibit higher levels of physical activity; (3) in terms of the social environment, a supportive family exercise atmosphere and abundant community sports activities significantly promote people's physical activity behavior; and (4) regarding health awareness, its effect on activity behavior is particularly strong, with individuals who have greater health awareness being more actively engaged in physical activity.
